Why does the 370z get so much disrespect...
From BRZ and FRS owners? Hello everyone, i am a new member and hope to purchase a 370z very soon. I was also interested in the BRS/FRS but after extensive research i came to the conclusion that the platform was not for me. The BRZ/FRS are great cars from what i have gathered; however, i often hear the following from BRZ/FRS owners:
'the BRZ/FRS has better handling' 'the BRZ/FRS can beat the 370z on the right track' 'the 370z is too heavy' Now i know that the BRZ/FRS has a strong marketing campaign and that has something to do with the BRZ/FRS being portrayed as some mythical world beater, i also know that some BRZ/FRS owners are a tad bit out of touch with reality but do people here have experience with the BRZ or FRS that can chime in? Most reviews i have seen that praise the BRZ/FRS basically praise how fun of a car it is even when they compare it to different vehicles and often times the BRZ/FRS is somehow favored over many other performance/sports cars because it's "fun". From what i have gathered, in most tests the 370z has better skid pad performance and at least equal slalom numbers. I know the BRZ/FRS have very sharp and responsive steering and are fun to drive but as a whole that does not seem to make the BRZ or FRS a "better handling" car. Am i wrong or am i missing something such as major 370z flaws? And yes i know this has been beaten to death and that the FRS head unit looks like it came from a 1988 Pontiac Trans Am. I also know there are some BRZ/FRS owners that claim such silly things as they can break into the 13s by dropping 250lbs off their vehicles which normally run high 14's to mid 15's. I know there will be some bias towards the 370z but it can't be as bad as the FRS/BRZ fanboys, so what is the consensus? |
